Their staff is amazing and they understand customer service. The cabins are beautiful, serene and well kept. The views are amazing and the location is convenient yet remote enough to feel distant and unplugged. You park and take a boat over to the dock and the staff unloads your gear while you get settled in. And that's just the lodging. The food is spectacular and I gain weight each time I go, unfortunately. But, of all of the spectacular reasons to go to Young's Wilderness Camp, the fishing is out of this world. If you want to put a big Muskie or Pike in your boat, then Lake of the Woods and this resort is the place to be.

Best Fishing Trip I've ever had! Experience was amazing! The guides were great and the fish tasted…read morereally good. I would prefer if you were to come with family or friends because you do have to share a cabin with another family. You're also allowed to take fish home if you want to. The cabins were nice and comfortable. However, cell service was not great and didn't get more than 2 bars. WiFi was not very either. Also, don't be out on the patio after dark, bugs and especially mosquitoes are pretty vicious after dark. Boats, equipment, captains, and guides are provided. I hope everyone can experience this and enjoys it!

I am writing this about the restaurant only. I come here a couple times a year (spring and fall)…read morefor lunch and dinners for several years now. The menu has not changed in the years I have been coming here. They have a couple vegetarian options (grilled cheese on kids menu, cheese pizza) and no vegan options. The salad bar is lackluster; my vegetarian friend took one look and said "Uh no thanks" which was my thought too when I looked at it previously. The dining room and bar areas are nice and clean, bathrooms are clean and you can see into the kitchen which also looks clean. The food is good, not amazing. The service in the bar and dining room is great and friendly. The views are great from the bar and dining room looking at the Rainy River. They have a nice patio to enjoy when the weather and bugs are cooperating.

Six experiences since 2011, five summer and one winter. All were fantastic, except maybe the -30…read moredegree winter one. Full disclosure: I hate winter anyway but wanted to experience winter fishing at least once ! Our guides were always cheery and pleasant, even when they would have to keep replacing the many jigs we kept losing in the rocks. Shore luches were always a necessity. Dining room meals were always great, the portions hearty, and staff friendly and attentive. Unfortunately, fish are not guaranteed, but a great time is! Whenever I hear of someone headed to LOTW for fishing, I try to steer them to Ballard's. Fish on!

Cedar Island Lodge is the first camp I've ever been to that we decided to return next year before we even left. Todd and Carrie are the most gracious hosts we've ever had. The cabins are beautiful, clean and very well furnished. The camp amenities are fabulous (HOT TUB!). And Pipestone Lake is another gorgeous Ontario setting that offers more then enough fishing action and variety. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
